Why the alert covers the province
An Amber Alert is used when police believe a child has been abducted and that sharing information quickly could help locate the child and bring them to safety.
The alert was distributed across Alberta because investigators believe the pair may be travelling beyond the Valleyview area.
Valleyview is in northern Alberta, roughly 350 kilometres northwest of Edmonton and about 115 kilometres east of Grande Prairie.
Alert details can change as investigators receive new information.
Albertans should rely on updates from Alberta Emergency Alert and the RCMP rather than unverified social-media posts.
Investigation remains active
Police have not released additional information about the circumstances surrounding the reported abduction.
The alert remains active while investigators work to locate Aspen and determine the pair’s movements.
Anyone with information that may help investigators is urged to contact police immediately.
The priority is to locate Aspen safely and avoid actions that could escalate the situation or interfere with the investigation.
